I have been on my slimming world journey for a while now and I absolutely LOVE this sweet and sour chicken and noodle recipe so I thought I would share it with you! A healthy but amazingly naughty feeling meal.

This meal takes about 30mins to cook and the ingredients you will need are:

4 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

4 tbsp tomato puree

2 garlic cloves grated (or garlic granules if easier)

1 tsp corn flour

~ Method ~

Put egg noodles into a saucepan to boil and stir as needed. Spray two large frying pans with low calorie cooking spray, in one add the chicken breast pieces and fry for 6-7minutes. In the other pan fry up the peppers, onion and carrots for 6-7minutes. Meanwhile mix the juice from the pineapple can wit he stock, soy sauce, white wine vinegar, tomato puree, garlic, Chinese 5 spice and the corn flour and then add to the vegetables pan. When the chicken is ready drain the excess juice and add just the chicken to the vegetables and sauce and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
